2019 Hyundai i10 Launch, Price, Specs

Korean automaker, Hyundai had launched the second generation i10 in 2013. Currently available as the Grand i10, the current model is already 6 years old and is set to receive a new generation model in 2019. The 2019 Hyundai i10 is most likely to make global debut in mid-2019. Hyundai India is also working on the new generation Elite i20, Verna, Grand i10 and Xcent, and Grand i10 would be the first model to receive the new-gen model. The 2019 Hyundai i10 for India might launch in the second half of the next year or early 2020.

For people not in the know, the global i10 is around 100mm shorter than the India-spec Grand i10. In fact, the Grand i10 has 40mm longer wheelbase for better rear occupant space. The model spotted testing on foreign soil looks bigger than the current i10, which suggests that this global car will have standard dimensions for all markets. The new model will adorn Hyundai’s new Fluidic Sculpture 2.0 design philosophy, which will also be offered on the next Xcent and i20. In terms of mechanics, we believe that the hatchback will have same set of petrol and diesel engines.

2019 Hyundai i10 Specifications

The 2019 Hyundai i10 will continue to feature the existing set of engines, but they will be tuned to meet the upcoming BSVI emission norms. The gasoline version will get a 1.2-litre Kappa engine that is good for 81bhp of power and 114Nm of torque. Transmission options will include a 5-speed manual and a 4-speed automatic unit. The company is also likely to offer AMT gearbox instead of 4-speed automatic.

On the flip side, the diesel version will get a 1.2-litre 3-cylinder unit that is good for 74bhp of power and 190Nm of torque. Power will be transmitted to the front wheels via a 5-speed manual gearbox. The petrol engine is more in demand, thanks to its peppy nature. However, the diesel engine feels less powerful and has turbo-lag on initial revs. Though, mid-range performance is quite decent.

2019 Hyundai i10 Design & Interior

The 2019 Grand i10 will share design cues from the upcoming Hyundai Elantra facelift, which has already been spotted multiple times on foreign soil. It is expected to receive the signature hexagonal grille and wider headlights. At the back, the hatchback will receive new bumper and wider tail-lights. The side profile is not likely to get many changes, except for the new design for alloy wheels and ORVMs.

The cabin of the new i10 will also receive several changes in the form of new features and dashboard design. The vehicle will continue to offer touchscreen infotainment system, automatic climate control, rear AC vents and others.
